Do you normally shower at night?

[hannamarin]

I would like to start showering at night. It will be easier than trying to fit it in with the baby, etc but I am not sure how "fresh" I will feel.
So if you shower at night, dont you get warm in your bed and feel icky (cant think of a good word). How do you avoid that?
Maybe you dont have a husband that feels like an oven so you dont get too warm.

I typically shower at night. If you are too warm in bed, I would suggest a lighter blanket, using a ceiling fan, lighter weight clothes, etc.

I shower in the mid-afternoon as soon as I get home, but before this job I did shower at night.

My only complaint was that my hair was wet and would therefore make me cold and make my pillow wet. I never felt warm or gross.

My husband feels like an oven too, LOL.

I sometimes shower at night if I won't have time to style my hair the next day. I dry it mostly straight so I just have to do a quick touch up in morning. I don't feel icky. My husband and I keep separate blankets... It's just easier. I like heavier, he likes lighter.

[charliesmom]

I shower after dinner, so that my hair dries before bed. I try to wait until DS goes to bed before I get in.

[BravoBravo]

I always shower in the evening. I like going to bed clean and not with dirt/germs from the day (bit of a germ freak). I am a SAHM and do I don't really worry what my hair looks like in the morning since I always have it in a ponytail or bun.

Pre-baby, always in the morning. Now, always at night. There just isn't enough time in the morning. I don't feel as fresh, nor do I feel as awake, but it is what it is.

Word for word.

I switch it up depending on my schedule, but I usually shower at night. I don't feel less fresh or icky in the mornings, but I do feel less rushed! I do still wash my face in the sink in the mornings though, because it's better for my skin care routine to wash off the heavy night cream and start fresh in the morning with my sunscreen.

[Roc A Bee]

In the summers I shower and wash my hair at night. In the morning, I take a quick shower to wake up. My morning routine is still shorter because I don't wash or dry my hair just style it.

[MiniLove]

It depends, but I do frequently shower at night. I sleep in only my undies, with a light blanket, and usually have a fan on in addition to the A/C when needed, so no I don't get hot. I put deodorant on at night and in the morning, wash my face again in the morning, and change undies so yeah, I typically still feel pretty fresh. Oh and I have to dry my hair before I go to bed. Trust me on this one.

[karinothing]

I sometimes shower at night but like Shiseido, I shower in the morning too. Right now I find it pretty easy to get ready with the baby in the morning. I get up at 540, shower and eat. Baby wakes up at 620. DH dresses him and changes him while I dry my hair. 630 nurse, and 645 out the door. I think when he needs to eat real food in the morning I will just get up earlier.

[hazel]

Yes, I rarely shower in the morning. My hair isn't a pain to deal with in the morning, so I just let it dry over night and then straighten it most mornings. I also think it feels better going to bed feeling fresh and clean. On a few rare occasions I'll shower in the morning if I don't feel good.

[boxer08]

I have to shower at night or I'd never get out of the house in the mornings! I'm not a morning person and hit snooze a bajillion times so that probably plays a role. Also for me to fix my hair from wet to straight would take over an hour. I just hit it with the dryer in the morning and can be ready (including makeup) in about 45 minutes.
I don't feel gross but it's what I've always done so nothing to compare.

[hannamarin]

Kari, nobody wants to get up at 540. I know it is your normal.

[Laura Palmer]

I can not shower at night, as much as I'd love to. My hair feels way too funky and I just feel gross. Maybe I'm grosser than the other ladies who posted here and said that they feel fine the next day....

[Deleted]

If I don't shower at night I feel like I'm going to bed dirty, even when I'm not dirty. It just feels really icky. We change up blankets according to the season, use a fan, and often adjust the AC so the house is colder while we sleep.

[phoeny]

I take one shower at night and one in the morning.

I feel disgusting getting in bed for the night if I haven't showered. I wake up feeling clean. I don't sweat while I sleep.

[bunch]

I do if I didn't have time during the day. I just put my hair up. It is what it is.

[IrishBelle]

I don't but its because of my curly hair that looks horrible in the morning. If I didn't have to worry about my hair though I'd likely just shower at night to save time in the morning.

My husband who gets dirty at work showers before work (at 5:15 am) and after he gets home. I've told him that I'd rather have that extra 10 minutes of sleep in the morning than having a shower but he says he does it to wake him up.

This. The greatest feeling is going to bed clean, with fresh sheets. It's also better for my allergies to go to bed clean.

[Lissa]

I wish I could shower at night. My hair is so fine/thin and looks like shit if I sleep on it.

[chicken]

I usually shower at night. Sleeping on the same sheets every night would gross me out if I went to bed dirty.

Am I the only one who goes to bed cold (and therefore needs a bunch of blankets even though DH is a furnace) and then wakes up in a pool of my own sweat?

I often do this. A cat sleeping on my ass doesn't help.

[Awkward]

I'm about 50/50 morning or night showering. If I feel like I'm going to have trouble sleeping I shower before bed, the warm water relaxes me and I don't have to stress about getting up early to shower. I don't tend to sweat much while I sleep, especially when I'm using that ultimate-strength antiperspirant that suggests putting it on before bed.

Showering in the morning is nice because it wakes me up, but I am a shower dawdler and always end up taking more time than I intended to.
What I don't understand are mid-afternoon showerers, haha.

[nextbigthing]

I always shower before I go to bed even if I showered earlier in the day, always have, I hate climbing into bed dirty, especially with dirty feet. I wash my curly hair then put it up damp in a knot on top of my head, then I take it down in the morning and its dry and good curly

Me too! The only way to make my hair look good after sleeping on it is to get it completely wet - so shower it is.

[Deleted]

I never feel fully awake unless I shower in the morning. If I work out or sweat too much during the day, I shower at night and still shower in the morning.

[heightsyankee]

I don't, but DH's whole family does. I can see the appeal- to always put a clean body in bed means cleaner sheets. I just can't manage it, though.

[lilibet]

I shower at night. I'm up at 4:40 and at work by 6 so I don't really want to have to adjust my schedule for the time it would take to shower in the morning. I dry my hair at night and it is fine in the morning. Like pp I put on deodorant at night and in the morning, wash my face, and put on clean undies and I'm good. My husband is like a furnace but we sleep with multiple fans on so it is ok.
